I'll take the dumb emotes and disagrees for saying this but you are all acting shocked pikachu that the committee punished us for a bad non con when they did the exact same thing in February on the bracket reveal by putting us 11th. They told us a month ago they were going to do it and guess what they did. We played an awful non-con, we did it to get the guys playing together as a team. Getting our teeth kicked in by Wisconsin in week 2 was never part of the plan.
Projected point spreads to the Final Four per KenPom for potential matchups:
Favored:
South Dakota St: 16.5
Drake: 12
Washington St: 10
BYU: 5
Illinois: 2
Underdog:
Uconn: 6
Auburn: 2

To me, it’s less about a tough draw and more about the total lack of respect.
While I'm also not thrilled with the draw, I'm also as confident in this team since 2000. While it may not be comfortable along the way, I see Elite 8 at a minimum. The guys will carry that Big 12 Tournament momentum into the next 2 weekends. And hopefully longer.
I just hate that the takeaway from this bracket is punt on the conference tournament unless you are on the bubble or OUT.
They are literally putting more emphasis on games 5 months ago over 24 hours and it's insane

And is that on CBS or something? I think someone said X maybe? I haven't had to do that before. ha!
Also get us a upper half Missouri Valley team on the schedule. Doesn't have to be Drake or UNI, but Bradly, Indiana State would be game that looks better and should win at home.
He isn’t doing us any favors by being on it.
I'd be looking at the usual sports accounts on twitter, or they'll be posted here shortly after
Which is just ridiculous. How much higher can we be ranked by the metrics if we beat 2 teams ranked in the 280s instead of the 320s. They’re all bad teams at that point.
Should be anytime now. I'll post as soon as it goes live on twitter.
There is a twitter account that has had them in the past but I don't remember what it is. I think eventually the times get updated on the graphics on tv, but it hits twitter first.
Surprised still underdog to Auburn after our numbers juiced by 3x blowouts in the tournament.
It’s funny ISU and BYU got all this attention for “gaming the system” when Auburn and Alabama seemed to be inflated by metrics all year.
OK People. There is a long way to go here. Crazy shot happens in this tournament. We could get on a role and make it with some luck along the way to help (maybe we don't even need it.) Let's just go kick some ass and see where we land. Everyone has to play someone tough along the way, let's just prove we are that touch team for everyone we play!
AND..... realizing that speech didn't help anything becuase none of us can really do anything much to change anything other than cheer.
